BASKET BALL GETS
NEW UNIFORMS
And Northern Trip-Bright Prospects
for Coming Season.
Although basket ball is practically
a new phase of athletics at Carolina,
only having been organized last
year, it is a game which is sure to
gain favor with the public, and in
terest in this sport is developing
rapidly. Basket ball was at one
time looked upon as a girl's game
and college men were backward
about participating in a game that
was looked upon in this light, but
this impression is fast dying out and
the men will soon learn to back up
basket ball as they do football and
baseball.
The football coach of last year,
after seeing a game of basket ball,
said that he could not let his meii
play basket ball for fear that some
of them might get killed, but it
se.ems that this year's coach has a
different opinion of the game and
thinks that it is a good way to keep
his men in training, for the foot
ball men will also be basket ball
players this year.
The team is planning many big
trips this year. V. M. 1. has already
asked for a game with Carolina and
Carolina's coach is corresponding
with the Atlanta Athletic Associa
tion, University of Virginia, Jeffer
son College, and \Vashington and
Lee. It is very probable that several
if not all of these games will be ar
ranged.
There will be much hard work
among the basket ball contestants
to make the varsity to be able to
make these trips, and another in
ducenent is that the varsity will be
provided with new uniforms.
Although there is a fairly good
number of men trying out for the
team it is hoped that a good many
more will go out.
